Coco chanel bags saks Karl Lagerfeld

<p>Karl Lagerfeld on Tuesday celebrated the story of French fashion house Chanel Price Increase in a show set around a huge globe showing how the label has grown from a single boutique in the seaside town of Deauville to a global brand with a presence in hundreds of cities. Blasts of Tchaikovsky filled Paris’s vast Grand Palais for the opening of the show attended by a string of famous faces including Princess Caroline of Monaco, model Milla Jovovich, photographer Mario Testino and actresses Jessica Chastain and Vanessa Paradis.“It’s very simple. One hundred years ago Chanel opened its first boutique at Deauville, today 100 years after there are 300″ outlets worldwide, Lagerfeld told us on the penultimate day of Paris fashion week.After the Deauville shop opened in 1913, founder Coco chanel woc, who died in 1971, opened another boutique at Biarritz in 1915.Today the label’s 300 outlets include 185 boutiques in cities such as Sao Paulo, Calgary, New Delhi, Istanbul and Brisbane.“Wherever you see a flag there’s a Chanel shop,” said Lagerfeld pointing to the rotating 40-foot- (12-metre-) high globe.“I can be very happy and pleased because when I started there were three or four 30 years ago, so it’s not that bad,” he said, adding however that the main credit was due to the company.“I am there to do (this) it’s part of my job, it’s not an ego trip. They (woc chanel) played the game, they invested, developed…,” he said.Lagerfeld’s autumn/winter 2013/14 ready-to-wear collection featured knitwear, short wool suits and column dresses teamed with “double” boots comprising a second legging-type element extending over the knee.</p>
<p>“It’s chic sexy, I think, discreet sexy, it’s not obvious, it’s not sex shop sexy,” he said, explaining that the boots gave “balance and proportion” to the look.Lagerfeld added that he loved knitwear and column dresses which he said made women look “tall and slender”.Reacting after the show, Chastain said she “loved everything” about the collection especially the way Lagerfeld was able to combine elegance and romance.“Many pieces were quintessential Coco chanel handbags like the low-waisted dresses,” she said.“Karl makes everything look very wearable. I found it all extraordinary,” she added.Vanessa Paradis was equally impressed.“I loved it,” she said. “The show amazed me.”Meanwhile, fashion watchers were on Tuesday still unsure how to react to Saint Laurent designer Hedi Slimane’s young, grungy collection presented on Monday evening.The designer, famed for his pencil-thin skinny tailoring, divided the fashion industry with his first women’s wear collection for Saint Laurent last October.Trade journal Women’s Wear Daily on Tuesday said it understood the company wanted Slimane to capture a younger clientele with a more youthful look.And it noted the much-anticipated collection’s use of expensive clothes to express a “down-market attitude”.Retailers who had loved his debut collection would love this one too, it said.But it added: “Is playing a cutesy, disaffected-youth hand enough to propel the house of Saint Laurent into today’s luxury stratosphere — especially if the targeted air space is that in which chanel woc price and Dior reside?”On Twitter, one woman called it “luxury grunge”, while another said “a bit disconcerted by the Slimane show, seductive but light years away from Mr Saint Laurent’s style”. For almost 30 years, Karl Lagerfeld has helmed French fashion empire Chanel, taking the brand’s trademark utilitarian tweed suits and spinning them into outlandish and glamorous fripperies. The Kaiser’s personal style, however, is mechanical in its vampiric piousness. Clad exclusively in black and white, with a high-collared dress shirt, dark sunglasses, fingerless gloves, a white ponytail, and a glittering bauble of some kind, the designer has cultivated an extreme signature look.1.

WELSH designer Jayne Pierson has labelled Karl Lagerfeld a “bully” after he laid into yet another high-profile woman’s looks.The controversial chief designer at chanel bags was talking about the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, last week when he launched into a bizarre verbal attack on her sister, Pippa.“On the other hand, her sister struggles,” said the outspoken 78-year-old, after praising Kate’s “nice silhouette”.“I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back,” presumably referring to her much praised derrière at the royal wedding.”The acid comments came six months after he called singer Adele “too fat”.In 2009, Lagerfeld said Heidi Klum was “too heavy” and “had a big bust”, which meant that she could never be a catwalk model.Carmarthenshire designer Jayne told WM his rants sound like they come from a man fiercely protected from the “real world” by hangers-on.“Karl Lagerfeld is about the same age as my dad,” says Jayne, who is preparing to show at London and Paris fashion weeks and has dressed singers like La Roux.“And I think he’s beginning to turn into someone who is just so, so out of date.“What he said about Adele was just unbelievable and now he’s done it again.“You can’t treat people like that. It’s verging on bullying.“It’s just a horrible thing to say about someone, it’s so inappropriate.”Lagerfeld’s collections wow the industry every season, but increasingly he’s becoming as synonymous with his insensitive rants as he is with jaw-dropping couture.And it’s unlikely Kate, who the rest of the fashion world clamour to dress, will ever be seen in chanel bags saks after the man at its helm so publicly insulted her sister.“It’s a shame as he’s so utterly amazing at what he does,” adds Jayne.“He’s such an amazing creative, it’s really sad that he feels the need to say things like that. It’s pointless.“He’s fantastically eccentric as all the best designers are, but somebody needs to tell him he needs to stop with the insults.“It suggests he doesn’t get out much. Sure he’s surrounded by people, but they’re ‘yes’ people. He needs to get out into the real world, around real people.”</p>
